Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

Yes. The VBII even includes instructions on how to hook up to your car battery. There are lots of threads on the web about building your own portable power system. The important thing is to get an inverter with the right output for your lights. Usually this means a true sign wave inverter sized so that it can handle the flash recycle.

Unfortunately the inverter used in the Vagabond II is what is causing the backorder situation, so if you don't have one all ready you will either need to wait for PCB, Inc to get their restock or find an alternative.

Even more to the point, is the Vagabond II even going to be available anymore or is trying to be replaced with the new mini? Sure has been off the market for a good while now.

Thanks for the update on whats going on ..

My two cents worth is: Luap, take your time and do it right! If it was easy, everybody would be doin' it.

Everything I have purchased from Paul C. Buff Inc. thus far has surpassed expectations. Keep that going, in my opinion, above everything else.

Also keep the outstanding technical service and customer service going. That is a keystone of your success.

Bumpin' for any VML info/shipping updates to the December timeframes? 8-)

No change as of now.

Patiently waiting , twiddling thumbs , can I at least get my PLM ? :mrgreen:

Good question.

Luckily, in my situation, I can afford to wait for Luap to get it right.
